They say all good things come to an end. As far as the road goes... I think there are only more and more forks as we go. Each road leads to another and another. Life is a maze that we can either feel lost in or enjoy finding our way through the rough times into the good times. Either way the song has sentimental value to me. I'm not going to tell you why.
Theres nothing to be sad about. Things happen for a reason. He went on to a solo career that rocked and if without that turn we would have never had the Dio years which were not better or worse than the Ozzy years but needed to happen. Everything that happens is meant to be Change is a good thing. The only thing I'm not sure about in this song is the line "we'll meet in the end." I don't believe theres ever an end.
I have to disagree. Technical Ecstacy is OK but Never Say Die is pretty poor for Sabbath. They had sunken into the late 70s "Hollywood" sound, or tried to, and then went out on tour with Van Halen. I talked to a guy who was in a band that was on that ticket and he said Van Halen was great and it appeared they would upstage Sabbath every night but... Sabbath came on and blew them away at every show he did with them and he was a big Van Halen fan. They could still do it in 78 but the new stuff bad
Yeah, but that Hollywood sound was the "it" sound back then. They just delivered 4 monster heavy albums in a row: Masters of Reality, Vol.4, Sabbath, Bloody, Sabbath, and Sabotage. Factor in the the times against what they just did, the touring, drugs, personality conflicts, I would say Never Say Die holds its own considering I think just about everyone in the band was burnt out. Of course H&H would rejuvenate the band as Randy did for Ozzy!
The guy I knew that toured in the opening band in '78 said Sabbath really kicked butt on that tour. As I mentioned, it really surprised me because he was/is a big Van Halen fan but he told me Van Halen brought the house down every night and seemed no one could follow them. Then the lights would go down and Iommi would play just one chord and everyone in crowd knew who headliner was! I wish I could've seen that tour but they did not make a stop where I lived.
LOL. It happens to alot of bands when times/trends change. VH were on the rise, but not hitting their full stride just yet. The same happened when Ozzy took Metallica out on tour in 86". Anyway, I knew someone who went to that show and paid $10 for a good seat! Imagine getting VH and Sabbath for $10?? Now you couldn't get a T-shirt for that price. It's a Britney/Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers world now. :(
This song is Ozzy's farewell to Sabbath........and what a sweet farewell it was......did you guys see the reuinion footage??? Point and Case.....:: )))
well said! plus... everybody and their fuckin' brother knows that Tony had been trying his damndest to get Ozzy to leave since he gained too much power after Sabotage and starting producing shitty records... from Technical ecstasy all the way up to the shit he's doing now.
wow I got sabotage the other day and wow I really loved that album. now im listening to other stuff off the last 2 albums they did with ozzy and there is a lot of great music there. I wonder why the last 3 albums did not do so well?
Because, as I stated in another post, alot of their fanbase really got into the heavy albums (Master, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Vol4)and wanted more classic sludge riffs. Those later albums have lots of great songs on them.
Also, by the late 70's Kiss had exploded. Van Halen was on their way, and Disco was the in thing. It was just time for Sabbath to grow past the C# tuning sludge and go for a more straight blues rock sound in standard tuning
well when u talk about tuning alot of it depends on A0 toni Iommis sound preference and B) the fact that his finger tips are missing on important fingers so when u play with rubber fake tips on a standard tuning it probably put alot of pain on him. So fdrop tuning just seems easier on the hands to me.
Yeah, but you are regurgitating half knowledge. "Black Sabbath" and "Paranoid" were both recorded in standard tuning. Also, Tony overcompensates for his fingers by using more of his pinky and index when fretting and bending. The heavy formula worked for a while but they couldn't do it forever.
understandable i do acknowlege the method wouldnt work forever and frankly i love all sabbath i have not one complaint of any song whether it is gillan dio or ozzy i love all the albums from M.O.R. to Dehumanizer every one is great in its own way
As do I. And the great thing is you have a lot of flavors of sabbath to choose from. Give Tony credit, unlike Kiss and many other bands, Tony kept churning out albums, giving fans a reason to continue being fans instead of retreading the same old stuff!
yeah and i will always give Toni credit he is my favorite guitarist of all time he was the reason i picked up the guitar at all the first song i heard from him was.....hmmm Spiral Architect and that opening just sold me from the first note. Sabbath is great always have been always will be and Iommi is very Versatile unlike your EVHs. Not taking nething away from Eddie but he only Plays Van Halen Stuff whereas Toni Iommi can play so many things its unbelievable
That's because Tony isn'y a "metal" guy. Of course there was rock when he was young (Elvis, Chuck Berry, etc etc etc). Tony is a jazz/blues guy, and that is why he is so versatile. Eddie was smart enough to know that the song came first; so he didn't suffer from guitar hero syndrome. It's why he sold millions of copies and Yngwie couldn't score a radio hit!
This is a very appropriate for the swan song of Black Sabbath's original lineup. It was a hard road for Sabbath during the 80s and 90s with all the different lineup changes. I am glad Tony did not quit during the dark days. It cracks me up that teenagers think Sabbath is Ozzy's old backup band. Ozzy is Sabbath's original lead singer. Ozzy is a great front man. But if he is dreaming he can sing better than Dio he better wake up and apologize.
yeah it's true, it's pretty much the same thing with metallica, the fans wanted ride the lightning and master of puppets 10 times in a row as well, personally I love every album both Sabbath and Metallica put out, but the first 6 albums with Sabbath and the first 5 with Metallica put out were the best, and I love the Dio and Gillan years of Sabbath too, Born Again was a great album from the Gillan era, just the mixing was bad, but I don't let that bother me.
I like this song because its like a cool, mellowed out song for ozzy's last single with the Sabbath. Great stuff. Hope Ozz makes another album if his voice can handle it. ACDC is still going at it, but I think Ozzy is touring right now though.
going back to what people said on the second page, you guys said that dio and martin and hughes were horrible, your imbeciles then, a real sabbath fan would at least honor the contributions made by post ozzy era members,any album from the ozzy, dio and gillan years were amazing albums, the ozzy era was metal,jazz, blues,doom,rock, classical, thrown into one, the dio era was power metal and the gillan era was thrash and doom. hughes and martin were amazing sabbath singers, but it wasnt sabbath
Amen! They were ALL that, and that's what most people miss; the blues, jazz, etc etc. It wasn't just doom. I can't say I was ever moved by Tony Martin, and as for Glenn Hughes, I really liked Seventh Star for what it is -- a Tony Iommi solo record that was very blues oriented.
the ozzy, dio and gillan years of sabbath were the only true sabbath, the hughes and martin era were good but it wasnt sabbath anymore, it was iommi's solo band, the ozzy era was by far the best when it came to being original, but there is something about Heaven and Hell, Mob Rules, Live Evil, Born Again and Dehumanizer that were just as magical as the ozzy era.
You are a homophobian if you think all homosexuals are disgusting. Its really mature... Yeah, you must be 23 years old... You must be like 16. Jesus. I hope you get lost and die of hunger in a pyramid or get raped by a mummy
Never say die is kind of a weird album, alot of it is more Jazz-Fusion than metal. Paranoid and Sabotage are my favs, although all the Ozzy years were pretty amazing. I find the two albums with Dio kinda lame. Born Again was awesome, but after that the shit they did with Tony Martin was awful.
i sort of disagree with you on some points. NSD is an absolutely classic album even if it's an 'unorthodox' Sabbath album compared to their discography. Dio's work is pretty much heralded as classic by most heavy metal standards, probably his better work even besides Rainbow and his solo Career, Dio is only still alive today because of it. but after Dio it all went down hill horribly. which begs the question, could 'mob rules' and 'heaven & hell' actually have been better WITH Ozzy...
Absolutely not!! H&H and Mob Rules were very stylized towards Dio's strengths. Ozzy got lucky with finding Randy; he also has been living off his first two solo records, and perhaps a little bit is owed to bark at the moon because it was in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day. it's a shame Ozzy ruined his voice because he at one point he was incredible. He was always the showman, but also the mouthpiece for everyone else's lyrics, namely geezer in sabbath!
I didn't say NSD wasn't good....just a departure from their earlier sound. When I was in high school (1980-1985) I LOVED Dio. When I listen to the dio albums now I just don't get the same enjoyment as I do listening to the 1970-1978 sabbath, although most of the eighties metal was heavily influenced by H&H and Mob Rules (Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery). I don't think those two albums would have sounded anything like they did if Ozzy sang them. Dio was very "operatic"
This looks exactly like its being played at the hammersmith odeon on june of 78. I mean look at the background. I know this is just a dubbed over music video but if you watch the DVD and this their even wearing the same clothes!
Awesome. I remember cycling to the local record shop after school with my buddy to buy this on 7" purple vinyl, only to discover there was an even better song on the b side: Symptom of the Universe! Which blew our little nuts off. Still have it. Never say Die is criminally underated.
Love this old Song i have all those albums they are great on bust gettin primed to go out for the night lol....actualy think i enjoy these albums even more you can hear the Sabbath sound forming ..this song in particular you hear the pop culture music of the time brewing into METAL...I like to put it on for people who have never heard it and say guess who
Their best albums in order are Vol 4, First album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid, Masters, Never Say Die and then Technical...what do you guys think of that order??
PS: I left out Sabaotage...Hmm, I'd put that between Sabbath Bloody and Paranoid...and on second thought Never Say Die should be closer to the top, I sometimes forget what a GOOD album it is.
Love Master of Reality with their answer to the Crowd yelling "satanists"with the song After Forever and opening with Sweet Leaf and the Meat and potatoes dun dadadada dun dadadada Children of The Grave...its A must have album...Hard for me to put them in order I love them all...thats the sign of a Great Band wouldnt you say lol
I think you're right bro. After I threw out that list I immediately wanted to change the order. I will say though that Technical is probably my least favorite with Ozzy. They just sound a little tired on that one. Masters was the first one I ever bought when I was 14. "After forever" and "Lord of this world" were my two favs off that one, but like you said, they're all great!
Totally! That album has become my fav since I purchased the Black Box from Amazon. It was about $59.99 or something. Don't ya just love Solitude? Unique ballad-type Sabbath song w/ Iommi on flute
Killer combo!! People probably didn't like NSD cause it different from their other albums. More upbeat, jazzy, and complex w/ brass and keyboards. Although Jr's Eyes was written about thew death of Ozzy's father
GREAT song, GREAT album! Don't listen to the a**hole false fans who rag on the Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die, two emotional albums awash in mood and power! The rest of Sab's singers in later years were very good (especially Dio, Gillan and Gillen), but the sound was quite different. THIS is Black Sabbath!
thesithempire does that mean you consider the gillan and dio years as much sabbath as the ozzy era, and i agree technical ecstasy and never say die arent shit, you arent a true sabbath fan if you hate those albums
I love the Dio and Gillan years. But to me, those were different bands, great bands, but not really Black Sabbath (if you know what I mean). There was a particular kind of magic that the original foursome had, that despite how each of the 8 albums differed (Sabbath never repeated itself), remained constant. Dio and Gillan brought their own magic, but it was of a different kind. I see those bands as Heaven and Hell and Black Purple (dumb name I know, but something like that.)
I'm with ya. Back Street Kids from TE is one awesome song. I have Black Box! TE and NSD are awesome albums. Especially the Hipgnosis/Storm Thurgesen covers. Same company who did all those cool Pink Floyd covers
Song, is totally great! Ozzy, is a genius! Some say that he don't have a voice, for a vocalist... What a fuck do they thinking? Ozzy Have A GREAT Voice! Just listen to this song! (Fuckers....)
sabbath has three albums that are worth listening to that are sadly underater, never say die, dehumanizer from the dio era and born again from the gillan era, long live the ozzy, dio and gillan era's screw the tony martin and glenn hughes eras
The art on the album is interesting, the two pilots suited up for armegeddon, but one is so taller than the other, you wonder if it's a man and a woman. Inside all the technical drawings..., a good job for a band at the end. Normally they wmaybe wouldn't care.
Another interesting thing, have you ever noticed the outlines of other pilots in the clouds? I had to look for a while to see that, but I found it. Also, it's rumored that there's an outline of a figure representing God somewhere else in the clouds.
Never Say Die is one of my favorite ablums. Ozzy will own my heart forever but does anyone here think Born Again was any good? Coz personally I think Ian Gillan sounded great with Sabbath...
How about full versions of the songs on the beginning of that video that this was ripped from - when they were called Rare Earth or something like that.
Ya won't be sorry if ya don't It's great! Got it from Wherehouse yrs ago. Sold it cause i didn't listen to it for a long time. Now i have it again with the Black Box
Ya i Buy everything i can find lol the origional black sabbath symptom of the universe 1970-1978 2 cd box is great too with a cd sized book included...love the pic of them on the grass with ozzys way to big hand lol
I heard they only released a limited pressing way back ('69, I think?), so unless I'm mistaken, the only way to get one would be the lucky chance of seeing it on ebay or something, and even then only on 33. But anyway, Sabbath for life
Contrary to those who feel this is a "happy" song I think there's a phenominal sense of melancholy on this track..The whole album has that feeling..I bought this in '78 when I was 15. Very incredible record..Maybe someday the original line-up can perform this and other tracks onstage? I'm a dreamer..
Is this live? Tony's solo is different from the record. Thanks for posting! This song and whole album got shit from some fans but it's one of my favorite Ozzy/Sab albums. I love the lyrics to this song.
yes they are lipsyncing, this was not a live performance, this was what they called back in those days a "promotional video" now we call them just "music videos" so no it wasnt live, but its not like they were claiming it to be
Hey thanks for taking a look at my video! Go to my profile and check out the rest of my OZZY/SABBATH videos. Do u have something I dont currently have uploaded?? Let me know. I am always looking to TRADE. I have way more not yet uploaded as well. And also have a HUGE selection of rare Ozzy/Sabbath mp3's....

Black Sabbath with the original lineup(ozzy,tommi,bill ward,butler) is hands down the best metal band of all time
ivdbest3ver10 3 years ago
Shame ozzy had to get fired all because some critics at the time didnt think it was a good album and they were running outaa ideas
WTF WERE THEY THiNKING!!!??? huh??? This IS a great album with great songs
The original lineup was the best Dio was ok i guess...
after dio black sabbath stunk

Never say die is kind of a weird album, alot of it is more Jazz-Fusion than metal. Paranoid and Sabotage are my favs, although all the Ozzy years were pretty amazing. I find the two albums with Dio kinda lame. Born Again was awesome, but after that the shit they did with Tony Martin was awful.
esox66 3 years ago
i sort of disagree with you on some points. NSD is an absolutely classic album even if it's an 'unorthodox' Sabbath album compared to their discography. Dio's work is pretty much heralded as classic by most heavy metal standards, probably his better work even besides Rainbow and his solo Career, Dio is only still alive today because of it. but after Dio it all went down hill horribly. which begs the question, could 'mob rules' and 'heaven & hell' actually have been better WITH Ozzy...
voltronsky 3 years ago
Absolutely not!! H&H and Mob Rules were very stylized towards Dio's strengths. Ozzy got lucky with finding Randy; he also has been living off his first two solo records, and perhaps a little bit is owed to bark at the moon because it was in heavy rotation on MTV back in the day. it's a shame Ozzy ruined his voice because he at one point he was incredible. He was always the showman, but also the mouthpiece for everyone else's lyrics, namely geezer in sabbath!
AmbientGuitarSounds 3 years ago
I didn't say NSD wasn't good....just a departure from their earlier sound. When I was in high school (1980-1985) I LOVED Dio. When I listen to the dio albums now I just don't get the same enjoyment as I do listening to the 1970-1978 sabbath, although most of the eighties metal was heavily influenced by H&H and Mob Rules (Imitation being the sincerest form of flattery). I don't think those two albums would have sounded anything like they did if Ozzy sang them. Dio was very "operatic"

As a Sab fan from back in the day,I can appreciate everyone defending NSD,but when
that album came out,I took one look at it and
thought of a song by the Doors(another great band)"THIS IS THE END!"
Sabotage was most assuredly the last great album they did with Ozzy-What would we have done without the DIO years!

NuclearGuru350 3 years ago
So what do you have against Dio? To each their own taste, but I think he is the voice of metal-bar none.
I thought the born again album was great too, so I guess it can be safely said that Ian Gillian was one of their best vocalists.

Love this old Song i have all those albums they are great on bust gettin primed to go out for the night lol....actualy think i enjoy these albums even more you can hear the Sabbath sound forming ..this song in particular you hear the pop culture music of the time brewing into METAL...I like to put it on for people who have never heard it and say guess who
jsmallwood2007 3 years ago
Their best albums in order are Vol 4, First album, Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, Paranoid, Masters, Never Say Die and then Technical...what do you guys think of that order??
stingray1964 3 years ago
PS: I left out Sabaotage...Hmm, I'd put that between Sabbath Bloody and Paranoid...and on second thought Never Say Die should be closer to the top, I sometimes forget what a GOOD album it is.
stingray1964 3 years ago
Love Master of Reality with their answer to the Crowd yelling "satanists"with the song After Forever and opening with Sweet Leaf and the Meat and potatoes dun dadadada dun dadadada Children of The Grave...its A must have album...Hard for me to put them in order I love them all...thats the sign of a Great Band wouldnt you say lol
jsmallwood2007 3 years ago
I think you're right bro. After I threw out that list I immediately wanted to change the order. I will say though that Technical is probably my least favorite with Ozzy. They just sound a little tired on that one. Masters was the first one I ever bought when I was 14. "After forever" and "Lord of this world" were my two favs off that one, but like you said, they're all great!
stingray1964 3 years ago
Totally! That album has become my fav since I purchased the Black Box from Amazon. It was about $59.99 or something. Don't ya just love Solitude? Unique ballad-type Sabbath song w/ Iommi on flute
JIF882 3 years ago
Killer combo!! People probably didn't like NSD cause it different from their other albums. More upbeat, jazzy, and complex w/ brass and keyboards. Although Jr's Eyes was written about thew death of Ozzy's father

GREAT song, GREAT album! Don't listen to the a**hole false fans who rag on the Technical Ecstasy and Never Say Die, two emotional albums awash in mood and power! The rest of Sab's singers in later years were very good (especially Dio, Gillan and Gillen), but the sound was quite different. THIS is Black Sabbath!
thesithempire 4 years ago
thesithempire does that mean you consider the gillan and dio years as much sabbath as the ozzy era, and i agree technical ecstasy and never say die arent shit, you arent a true sabbath fan if you hate those albums
Blacksabbathisgod 4 years ago
I love the Dio and Gillan years. But to me, those were different bands, great bands, but not really Black Sabbath (if you know what I mean). There was a particular kind of magic that the original foursome had, that despite how each of the 8 albums differed (Sabbath never repeated itself), remained constant. Dio and Gillan brought their own magic, but it was of a different kind. I see those bands as Heaven and Hell and Black Purple (dumb name I know, but something like that.)

I'm with ya. Back Street Kids from TE is one awesome song. I have Black Box! TE and NSD are awesome albums. Especially the Hipgnosis/Storm Thurgesen covers. Same company who did all those cool Pink Floyd covers

sabbath has three albums that are worth listening to that are sadly underater, never say die, dehumanizer from the dio era and born again from the gillan era, long live the ozzy, dio and gillan era's screw the tony martin and glenn hughes eras
Blacksabbathisgod 4 years ago
The art on the album is interesting, the two pilots suited up for armegeddon, but one is so taller than the other, you wonder if it's a man and a woman. Inside all the technical drawings..., a good job for a band at the end. Normally they wmaybe wouldn't care.
iluvflagunlaws 4 years ago
Another interesting thing, have you ever noticed the outlines of other pilots in the clouds? I had to look for a while to see that, but I found it. Also, it's rumored that there's an outline of a figure representing God somewhere else in the clouds.

I heard they only released a limited pressing way back ('69, I think?), so unless I'm mistaken, the only way to get one would be the lucky chance of seeing it on ebay or something, and even then only on 33. But anyway, Sabbath for life

Contrary to those who feel this is a "happy" song I think there's a phenominal sense of melancholy on this track..The whole album has that feeling..I bought this in '78 when I was 15. Very incredible record..Maybe someday the original line-up can perform this and other tracks onstage? I'm a dreamer..
